Atomic nuclei....
Protons contain two up quarks and a down quark orbiting each other, and neutrons contain two down quarks and an up quark.

Are alpha particles and helium nucleus similar?
yes,they both consist of 2 protons, 2 neutrons, and a 2 charge
What are the names of the different protons and neutrons in uranium?
The individual protons and neutrons are basically indistinguishable; they don't have different names.
How many neutrons electrons and protons are in Tungsten?
protons 74 neutrons 110 electrons 74
Mass number - atomic number equals?
Mass number minus the atomic number equals the number of neutrons. Mass number is the number of particles in an atom that have significant mass. Electrons are assigned a value of 0 since the mass is so much smaller than protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are similar in mass and are assigned mass number of 1. The formula for calculating atomic mass atomic mass = # protons + # neutrons.
Alpha and beta particles of nuclear radiation are similar because they involve what?
Nothing really. Beta particles are electrons or positrons (the antimatter counterpart of electrons), and alpha particles are two protons and two neutrons (a helium nucleus). I guess the only things that they share are speed, and particles in them that have electric charge.
What subatomic particles are similar in mass?
neutrons and protons
What contains the protons and neutrons?
In an atom the protons and neutrons are contained within the nucleus by the residual strong ("color") force. the 'color' force is only applicable for fundamental particles Quarks . the proton and neutron have a force similar to the gravitational force.....
Are alpha particles and helium nucleus similar?
yes,they both consist of 2 protons, 2 neutrons, and a 2 charge
Which subatomic particles have similar masses?
Neutrons and protons have mass 1 (relative to proton, given the value of 1).Electrons have mass 1/1840 (relative to proton, given the value of 1).:)Protons and neutrons have almost the same mass.
What 2 particles have similar masses?
Protons and neutrons have near identical mass. One will not have to account for the difference in mass in most calculations.
Do nuetrons have higher mass or alpha particles?
alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons (helium nucleus) logically one neutron can not have a larger mass than two neutrons and two other subatomic particles of a similar mass
How are protons and neutrons different from and similar from each other?
Protons are positively charged Neutrons are negatively charged The number of protons is the atomic number Protons+Neutrons=Atomic weight
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in a neutral atom of 64Cu atomic number 29?
There are similar number of neutrons and protons. It contains 29 neutrons and protons.
What are particles of similar mass called neutrons and protons containing within?
Atomic nuclei....Protons contain two up quarks and a down quark orbiting each other, and neutrons contain two down quarks and an up quark.
Can protons have twice the mass of neutrons?
No; the mass of proton is similar to the mass of neutrons.
What are the names of the different protons and neutrons in uranium?
The individual protons and neutrons are basically indistinguishable; they don't have different names.
Do protons electons and neutrons differ in mass?
As I remember neutrons and protons weight something similar, electrons have a far smaller mass which is negligable in comparison to the weight of protons.
